Vampire Pumpkins

Just as city dwellers sculpt gargoyles to represent and deter evil spirits, so do country dwellers carve pumpkins and similar produce with fearful visages to ward off evil around holy days and festival celebrations. Yet among Ustalav’s strangest tales is that of the vampire pumpkin. These deadly gourds are said to arise from jacko’-lanterns that have trapped and become possessed by evil essences. Through the dark these uncanny menaces cackle and roll, hungering for living blood as they spread flames and chaos among all who mistake them for simple decoration.
